McKelvey, Susan Delano Botanical Exploration Of The Trans-Mississippi West 1790-1850
Jamaica Plain Arnold Arboretum Of Harvard University 1955 B0006AUG44 1st Edition; 1st Printing Hardcover VG-; Bookplate on endpaper, light wear to edges, includes the two folding maps in the back pocket
Monumental work on exploration and discovery in the trans-Mississippi west, particularly as it relates to the botanical exploration of the region. Broken down by decades, includes fold-out maps showing travel routes, detailed footnotes (that alone are worth the price of the book! ) . A must for anyone seriously interested in exploration west of the Mississippi before the great surveys were begun. A remarkable feat of scholarship carried out by a truly remarkable woman, under what must have been, at times, difficult and challenging circumstances. However, Mrs. McKelvey was one of the few people who did their plant collecting in the trans-Mississippi west while travelling in her own chauffeur-driven car. ; 8vo; 1144 pp
